No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Someone asked a question about how frequently young people have time to socialize and it made me think about what people do with their evenings. I recently asked my son to go to a concert (free ticket to see a band i know he likes) and he declined because it was an hour away on a weeknight. If we invite our kids or niece/nephew to dinner they always want to go at 6/630 which feels so early. Edit: Kids are 30ish.

I'm in my 40s, I'm not gonna go out to a concert an hour away on a weeknight because that means I'm not getting home 'til after 1 and I have to be up in the morning with a functioning brain because I have a damn job.

[–] Turkey_Titty_city@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (4 children)

speak for yourself. same here. i still go to concerts and come home at 1am. at least concerts are still affordable and like 20 bucks.

Maybe near you... A hundred or more in some places.

They can be expensive for big shows, but there's also alot of great local music; bands that are just happy to have an audience.

How old are you, what time do you wake up for work, how much sleep do you normally require, and what's your job?

[–] Today@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Me? 50ish. Usually sleep around 11 to 630. I work with kids so i have to be alive, awake, alert, and enthusiastic.

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Same except that concerts seem insanely expensive to me now!

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Again, I have to actually use my brain for a living.

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No need to be a dick about it.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago

If you'd bothered to read my previous comment, I wouldn't have had to repeat myself.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm 46. I took a half-day off last time I went to an event an hour away so I could sleep in the next day. It's the only way I can do it and I do it rarely because I don't have much PTO.
